[Bug] Puppeteer downloading

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

The browser downloads each installation with such dependencies (attached below); even if I don’t want to load puppeteer-extra…

It’s ~500 mb, which are built in lambda every time, which adds some complexity

Code Snippet

> npm i
// with:
"dependencies": {
	"@sparticuz/chrome-aws-lambda": "^14.4.1",
	"playwright-core": "^1.24.0-alpha-jul-6-2022",
	"puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth": "^2.10.2"
},

Versions

> npm list
+-- @sparticuz/chrome-aws-lambda@14.4.1
+-- playwright-core@1.24.0-alpha-jul-6-2022
+-- puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth@2.10.2

ah, puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth has puppeteer-extra-plugin as a dependency which lists puppeteer-extra as a peer dependency which lists puppeteer as a peer dependency.

Seems like peer dependencies are automatically installed, that behavior changed at some point if I recall correctly.

Will remove those peer dependencies or mark them as optional.

Quick fix: set PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD=true
